Re: FREE CoreChartFR
Software is a tool. Select the tool you feel most comfortable with and use it. I have 6 different hammers on my truck. When I need to whack something I pick the best hammer for the task. I could get by with 1 Hammer but that would be difficult. The situation is analogous to First. In the past we only had the MPLAB hammer. This year we may Have 3 different software hammers. The big point is we have a choice. Also note that LEGO is using the company that makes LabView to produce a graphical robot programming system. Maybe next year First will have more software hammers. I also believe that some of the negativism on this forum can be attributed to some programmers feeling threatened by some new software that may allow common mortals to program the robot reducing their stature as a god on the team. The other point I would like to make is "time to market". The build season is short. If a new graphical programming system will get the robot up and running faster this can make a big difference in time to market. Humans are tool users. Keep your tool locker full.
